  attributes of nested sequences

  Posted by Tad Newberry on May 27, 2006 at 11:56 pm

  i have a short Lightwave animation i brought in to it’s own sequence, nested it and put it in as a supered graphic on my main timeline. i wanted to go back and add a drop shadow to the nested animation and find that i can’t alter anything on it in my main sequence. so i went back to it’s own sequence (where it is the only item), gave the first image a drop shadow, then selected all the rest of the images as a group and pasted the attributes of the drop shadow. no problem. the nest in my main sequence now has the drop shadow on every frame. but do any of you know if there might be way to do it while the nested sequence is in the main timeline…that is, selected the nested sequence and the attributes?

  thanks for helping out a bonehead!

  Select the nest and type Enter. The nest will “reload” into the Viewer. Then just go to the Motion Tab and click the drop shadow checkbox.
